What kind of christmas gift can you make? Basically, everything! Make something nice for your child! Sprites, pixel art, a drawing, digital painting, vector art, an animation, music, a game, a poem, a story - be creative! Of course, you won't be left without any clue. Every participant is supposed to list a few interests when they sign up so every santa can get some inspiration. Of course, the character references from the love thread are always a good guess!
As the event name states, it's secret santa, thus I won't tell anyone who made which present for whom. That doesn't mean you're not allowed to put your signature or whatever hints onto your gift, chances are your style will be recognisable anyways, but if you want to stay secret, you can! My lips are sealed, my heart is pure and if I'd slip a word, Santa would be mad at me anyways and I don't want that to happen.

If you want to participate, post in this topic! Say you want to join and leave a list of interests and hints! These clues aren't necessary and no santa is obligated to make use of them, but they're helpful as inspiration and to make sure the gift will be appreciated! Also, make sure you have your personal character posted (and listed) in the love topic if you have one!
Everyone can join, although members with sceptical activity (all new members who never posted) may be excluded. Furthermore, all those who entered this year's Halloween event but didn't make a gift are excluded. Read the "Exclusion" section below for more information.
If you think you won't have the time required to make a gift, please don't enter! If you run out of time unexpectedly, please message me in time so I can try to find a solution. The best case scenario is that you try to make at least a little something in time, you can always hand in a full-fledged present you're content with later - of course this is no invitation to be lazy!

I'm all open to let everyone join, but if I somehow am to doubt that you'll actually make a gift, I may exclude you. If it should be the case, we can talk about it. I'm not cruel, usually! I don't think it will be the case, though.
As I said above, those who joined Halloween but didn't make a gift are excluded as they still have another gift to make anyways! Of course, if you send that one in before sign-up time is over, you're welcome! I suppose it'd also be alright if you'd make your late halloween gift into a christmas surprise.
If you wonder why I make use of this exclusion rule? I want everyone to get a present and statistics and heuristics say that people who are too busy to make a halloween gift are too busy to make a christmas gift! No hard feelings!
This also means that if you join Secret Santa but fail to make a gift, you may be excluded from future events of this kind (although that's not up to me if I'm not hosting them)!
No worries though, we can always work out a solution!

SIGN UP until November 25th
Santas will be assigned soon afterwards by Santa's magic random generator.
Send in your gift by December 23rd
Presents will be handed out on December 24th or 25th.

That's four weeks to make your present! Don't disappoint me!
